7 October 2024 (millions...)

millions of migrating birds

overhead in the dark

one acorn falling

17 November 2023 (shivering)

shivering oak leaves . . .

a few pairs of wood ducks

forage for acorns

7 October 2020 (acorns)

grouse season

the sharp reports

of falling acorns

22 March 2020 (acorns)

social distancing

empty acorn caps

cling to the branch

January 5: For winter

Woodpecker holes from summer

filled now with squirrel's stash:

seven acorns.

October 7: Windfall

fearful of the woods--

rapid barrage of acorns

leaves suddenly red

October 6: Hurricane tracking

wind in the oak trees

acorns rain down like hail

we don't know what's coming

August 12: Meteor shower

More falling stars tonight

than acorns falling

on the neighbor's roof.

August 8: Nuts

Oak leaves rustle--

not prophecy but squirrels

dropping acorns, harsh words.
